My first trip climbing mountains was more than I ever expected. I did the Peru, Ishinca Valley Expedition and it was amazing! Satori Adventures and Expeditions made the trip flow smoothly from beginning to end. The guides, porters and cook were wonderful. All were experienced, knowledgeable and worked hard to make the trip a success. I highly recommend Satori Expeditions to help take you on your next adventure! Thanks Dan Nash!

“Our Sherpa Sardar Mingma Tenzi Sherpa from Satori Adventures and Expeditions an 8 time Mt Everest Summitter, 2t ime K2 summitter and many more 8,000 meter peaks from Nepal. What a dedication he did, as he did not use oxygen at South Col in camp 4 for at least 72 hrs to save oxygen for the members when we stuck there due to bad weather. God bless you Dajju……”

Satori Everest Expedition May 2017

Breeze Sharma

Can’t say thank you enough for encouraging me to climb Mt. Pisco, it was everything and more then I expected. You have that trip dialed, everything was spot on! The food, guides, transportation, accommodations, everything was awesome.

Patrick

You ever have that moment when you look around at your present circumstances and think….dang, life just couldn’t get any better than it is right now. I have just returned from a climbing trip to Peru with Satori Adventures and Expeditions and I am happy to say I had more of those moments on my trip than most people do in a year or even a lifetime. This is my second year with this company, and I am already planning a trip on 2017 with them. It would no way be an exaggeration if I said I cannot say enough good things about Satori. Dan Nash and his guides always put the client first. His guides, porters, and cook are the hardest working people I have ever seen and always have a smile on their face. The trips are excellently planned and the food delicious. If you are looking for an adventure that will change your life then look no further than what Satori has to offer. You will never regret the decision your made. Success is not counted by how high you have climbed but by how many people you brought with you. By this measure Dan Nash and Satori Adventures and Expeditions is extremely successful, and I am forever thankful!

Nancy

I’m off Mt Pisco, and so grateful to have summited with a fantastic group of mountaineers with the BEST organization …. Satori Adventures and Expeditions. It took all of me to climb that mountain. Thank you, Dan Nash of Satori for such a incredible experience!

Aimee

My recent trek to Everest Base Camp was a success thanks to Satori Adventures and Expeditions. Dan Nash prepared me well for the trek and Rishi Bhandari made a logistical nightmare look like a piece of cake. Our guide Rupkaji Thapa Magar knew the area quite well and my porter Jiban Rana Magar made it easy for me. What a team!

Jim

Dan Nash, Rishi, and the entire Satori Expeditions Nepalese staff are wonderful. I was recently on an expedition to Ama Dablam and I could not have been in better hands. They are professional, conscientious, and think of everything. Throw in the guides’ vast experience in a number of environments and you have a recipe for a fantastic climb. Climb with Satori, you won’t be disappointed!”

Im definitely addicted and look forward to the future events he puts on. Great enthusiasm, motivational, challenging, intellectual, and inspirational human being that I’m happy to have met and learned from! Thank you!

I used Satori Adventures and Expeditions for my Nepal trip last November. The Satori team was outstanding in their support prior to and during the 21-day trip. The trek to Everest Base Camp and climb of Island Peak 21,000-foot was an amazing, life changing experience. Satori’s local climbing guides were professional, friendly, knowledgeable and fun. They catered to everyone’s needs and helped those of us who had minor ailments along the way. I loved the trip, and plan on using Satori for my next adventure. I would definitely recommend the Satori team!
